Correct head gasket on Evo8 head 2.4?
Hey as you can see im having alittle trouble with this head gasket on the car. I was using a 87mm Cometic head gasket for the evo. While the car was being tuned alot of smoking started coming from the exhaust after afew pulls. I took the head off and noticed the head gasket was messed up around the piston bore. Now I have fire rings installed on the block and I guess it didnt go well with the gasket? Ive searched and found that when the head is torqued down the head gasket actually ends up going into the combustion chamber. I seen that Race engineering has the correct head gasket for this set up that is a 051". My question is will this still mess up with the fire rings on the block? If so what head gasket should I go with. Some people say OEM 2.4 but that gasket isnt even steel,correct?
As always thanks guys
